This was a very engaging narrative true crime novel about a man who was just a really terrible husband x 2, but more importantly about the strength of his dead wife's sister, who never rested until she found out what had happened and saw John brought to justice. Also just a really interesting study of Saskatchewan in the early 1900s, the development of the RCMP, Spanish Flu, tuberculosis... all of it. But honestly, John Wilson was just such a drip.

John Wilson came to Canada from Scotland in 1912, leaving his wife and family with the promise to return in a year. In 1914 he joined the Mounties, and while stationed in Saskatchewan village, he caught TB and fell hopelessly in love with the young woman who took care of him. He would do anything for her, anything at all. Winner of the Arthur Ellis Award for Non-Fiction, The Secret Lives of Sgt. John Wilson is played out against a backdrop of catastrophic events-World War I, economic depression, the TB and Spanish Flu epidemics. It is a riveting story of passion, murder and retribution Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
